Cheryl, thanks so much for inviting me to such a wonderful community of people. You and RJ are amazing. You compliment each other in such a wholesome way. I am so glad to be here. Have a wonderful day! Michelle
Bonjour Cheryl,
Thanks for your welcome, i just lost all my hair, a year ago.... i find that very difficult, i am very glad now to find people who are the same as me...... have a good day !
Hi Cherly,
No my daughter hasn't adjusted to the wig. But that's okay, I like her better with out it. She does ask to wear it once in awhile, so it's completely up to her. We are going to be flying to Phoenix to be seen by a pediatric dermatologist. Our dermatologist here says he specializes in pediatrics but also sees adults. I think it is going to be refreshing to hear what the pediatric dermatologist says. She's really excited because this will be her first time on the airplane! I also finally got her signed up on the MD Anderson registry. We were contacted the next day with more questions. I think they are interested that she is an identical twin, but only one is effected. I hope we can help them with their study.
I am doing well. I just registered my daughters for kindergarten on Tuesday. They were really excited. I was relieved because the only comments about Della were from the teachers, wondering what it was. She will be the school's first alopecian. I am surprised about that, but I'm sure it was bound to happen sometime. I am relieved that it went so well, and I hope it continues to go well. I am sure as she gets older, it will get more challenging. I think all of my stress about her beginning kindergarten made it worse, so now I think we'll take it as it comes. But naturally, I am a worrier. I remember that about 3rd grade was when kids really began to worry about their appearance. I hope it hasn't began even sooner as adult topics such as relationships and sex seem to come up earlier and earlier as time passes. I hope that she will get a grip on this and make it her identity, and not let anyone bring her down because of it.
How is everything going with you? I'm sure you have met amazing people here, as I have. I think it is wonderful what you guys have done here, thank you!
See, the thing is, I may have come off as it being all new to me, but this isn't the first time I've been here. This is my third experience with Alopecia. The first time I lost patches, which grew back with cortisone shots. The second time, I lost all of my hair, and it grew back completely after two years of nothing. I had beautiful, chin-length hair that I constantly feared would fall out again. For five years, I had a full body of hair, then it all fell out. Usually I would have had at least like one hair regrow or something by now, but my doctor and I see nothing. She said there's no sign of it coming in anytime soon. I know I should be grateful that I may have hair again in a few years or whatever, but I'm dealing with now. I can't stand this struggle. How did you manage to gain such a positive outlook on this?
